Bruce attends the 60th birthday party of Jann Wenner (founder of Rolling Stone Magazine) at Le Bernardin restaurant on West 51st Street in New York City. In lieu of a toast Bruce performs one song which he wrote for the occasion. According to Joe Hagan's biography of Wenner //Sticky Fingers//, the lyrics included the verses, "I got to know the man a little bit, by and by / I've never seen so much innocence and cynicism walk side by side" and "I never guessed a man whose magazine once changed my life / Would one day want to have a threesome with my wife"! No further information about the song or performance is known. Additional performances are from Bette Midler, John Mellencamp and David Bowie.

Tour premiere for "Atlantic City" and live debut of "Froggie Went A Courtin'". It seems that Bruce had no intention of playing the latter. The original setlist that was on the lightboard showed that he was intending to play "Devils & Dust". A seven-year old boy in the front row waved a stuffed animal frog at Bruce. He went up to take the toy and motioned as if he was going to sign it for him. The kid told him that he wanted to hear “Froggie” to which the Boss sheepishly looked down and laughed…. “Uh…..we don’t play that one ……….” After a bit of chiding from the pit crowd… Bruce looked back at the band and asked if they could play that one….. who’s gonna argue with the Boss!?…. To which Bruce laughed as he strapped on his harmonica……”That’s what I like….confidence from the band…..” (sarcastically). “Okay, this one goes out to ………what’s your name?……. kid says “RIVER”………. Bruce: (laughing) “Yeah, I got another song for you too”. Patti Scialfa is not present. Horn section is Baron-Manion-Pender-Rosenberg.

E Street Band member Roy Bittan makes a guest appearance for "Pay Me My Money Down". As the rest of the band file out to end the song, Roy keeps playing along with the drums and tuba; after Bruce drags Larry Eagle and Art Baron away, it's just the Professor all by himself, banging it out on the old upright. Bruce hangs out next to the piano with a huge grin on his face, yelling stuff at Roy off mic, and for the big finish Bruce plays the last chord along with him, dragging his elbow down the keyboard - courtesy backstreets.com. The Greek Theatre is an outdoor amphitheatre. Horn section is Baron-Manion-Pender-Rosenberg.
